BlackBerry Curve 8980 spotted heading for China Mobile

Posted by Bla1ze on 31 Aug 2010 3:34 pm
Much like the BlackBerry Curve 8910, the BlackBerry Curve 8980 is not destined for North America. That said, it sure is an interesting device.

Research In Motion hasn't really been hiding this device either, the latest BlackBerry Desktop Manager 6.0 has a picture of it in the database of devices. As you can...
